A Simply Fabricated Electrochemically Pretreated Glassy Carbon Electrode for Highly Sensitive Determination of Clonazepam by Adsorptive Cathodic Stripping Voltammetry

Abstract

Using a simple method, a glassy carbon electrode was electrochemically pretreated for highly sensitive determination of clonazepam. The electrochemically pretreated glassy carbon electrode was employed as an adsorbent and a working electrode for the detection of clonazepam by adsorptive cathodic stripping voltammetry. The surface morphology and electrochemical properties of the glassy carbon electrode and the electrochemically pretreated glassy carbon electrode were studied by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The analytical measurements of clonazepam were evaluated using adsorptive cathodic stripping voltammetry. To obtain the optimal electrochemical reduction of clonazepam by the electrochemically pretreated glassy carbon electrode, the electrochemical pretreatment process, preconcentration potential and preconcentration time were optimized. The detection of clonazepam standards under the optimal conditions produced a cathodic current response with a detection limit of 19 μg l−1, quantification limit of 63 μg l−1 and a linear range from 0.0250 to 1.50 mg l−1. The sensor exhibited excellent sensitivity (453 μA mg−1 l cm−2), and good repeatability (%RSD < 11%) and recovery (98 ± 2 to 102 ± 4%). The developed sensor was successfully utilized for the measurement of clonazepam in beverage samples.

Voltammetric Amitriptyline Determination Using a Metal-Free Electrode Based on Phosphorus-Doped Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes

“…Analysis by AdASV is highly sensitive, fast, easy to perform, requires minimal sample and chemical volumes, and provides highly accurate and precise results. 10,11 More importantly, AdASV can also detect many organic compounds at nanomolar or parts per billion levels. [12][13][14][15] Some reports in the literature describe the development of electrochemical sensors for the determination of AMT.…”

Voltammetric Determination of Tramadol Using a Hierarchical Graphene Oxide Nanoplatelets Modified Electrode

“…Adsorptive stripping voltammetry (AdSV) is one of the most widely used voltammetric techniques for trace analysis of organic compounds because it can detect very low concentrations with accuracy and precision at ppb or nanomolar levels. [17][18][19][20] Nonetheless, oxidizing TRA at conventional solid electrodes is kinetically slow and requires high over-potentials. Hence, there is a need for a simplified and sensitive, upgraded electrode for the quantitative determination of the drug.…”
